Beerburrum
Beerburrum, a rural township with State Forest on its eastern and western sides, is 55 km north of central Brisbane. It was named after Beerburrum Mountain, west of the township, the word thought to be a conjunction of two Kabi language Aboriginal words referring to parrot and mountain, or the sound of the King Parrot. Beerburrum was in Caloundra City prior to local government amalgamations in 2008.
